You know how when you turn a light on in dank dark room and the roaches squirm to find a place to hide… well this is one of those moments… but there is nowhere to hide this time. Watch today’s “Father Coughlin” wriggle like the slime he is.

I can’t stop thinking about the Tucson shooting. I have even started talking to myself as I go about my day. In my one-on-one conversations I always come back to the same point about violence and rhetoric. Joe Scarborough, in a letter calling out Palin and Beck by name, puts my thoughts into words: You […]

OK, maybe I’m weird (that was rhetorical), but this from MoveOn cracked me up. Just type your name in … it’s worth it. I especially like the French Glenn Beck poster. I know that His Beckness will never have reason to go after me, but this video made me feel special — even if only for […]

I’ve always thought that Glenn Beck would flame out sooner rather than later. You can’t make your living as a prophet of doom & gloom if the doom & gloom doesn’t come to pass. However, the end for Glenn Beck may be more related to money than from burn-out, according to Howard Kurtz: With his […]

Last week Glenn Beck called on his cult like followers to investigate their church’s website to see if the word “social justice” anywhere. And if they found those words, they were instructed, nee ordered to leave their churches immediately. Because he says those words are code for Nazism and Communism. Yes, that’s right. Glenn Beck […]

The leaders of cults tend to be charismatic individuals who brainwash their followers. They do this by isolating them from their friends and family so that the members are dependent on the cult leader for their world view. They also make distinctions between “us” and “them,” with “us” as the good guys and “them” as […]

Newly disgraced former Congressman Eric Massa appeared on Glenn Beck’s TV show today. For some reason, the rightwing embraced Massa – I guess believing that Massa had the power to hurt the Obama administration. The interview didn’t go as Beck expected (he wanted to bash Rahm Emmanuel the whole time I guess): “I wasn’t forced […]

The effort to contact Glenn Beck’s sponsors has been very successful. 102 sponsors have pulled out of Glenn Beck’s show and for at least 3 days, there have been no sponsors when Beck’s show has aired in the U.K.

Birthers are going after Glenn Beck because he doesn’t talk about Obama’s birth certificate enough. A birther group has been flooding Glenn Beck’s radio show with phone calls: Here’s the explanation and the mission, as posted on Dec. 21 on the forum of the anti-Obama church ATLAH Worldwide: Anyone that gets through will say this: […]

Remember all that talk about a Palin/Beck ticket? Glenn Beck says it isn’t going to happen and he has really good reasons why it won’t happen: But just a few hours later on his radio show, Beck shot down the idea, saying he was “absolutely” ruling out a Palin-Beck ticket. He explained that if he […]

Glenn Beck is crazy like a Fox: – I have begun meeting with some of the best minds in the country that believe in limited government, maximum freedom and the values of our Founders. I am developing a 100 year plan. I know that the bipartisan corruption in Washington that has brought us to this […]

Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck had a conversation on O’Reilly’s radio show yesterday and predicted violence against Nancy Pelosi could occur. BECK: Last week, I head you say that — you were on with Dennis Miller. … You two were talking about an insurrection coming. O’REILLY: Tax revolt. BECK: He used the word insurrection. And […]

James Carville’s political polling organization, Democracy Corps, released a very interesting report last week (warning: PDF). They surveyed the base of the Republican party and found that they had a different understanding of the world than the rest of the U.S. It’s a much more paranoid view.

You knew Glenn Beck was a phony, but here’s a video with the proof. Glenn Beck has Vick’s Vapo-Rub under his eyes to make himself cry during a photo shoot. Extra bonus Glenn Beck: Glenn Beck is trying to sue a man who runs a website called glennbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com. Conservative yakker Glenn Beck hasn’t (yet) been […]

Glenn Beck is obviously a deep thinker. In his new book, Arguing With Himself Idiots he furiously whacks at strawmen, teaching the “idiot” about what the founders really meant. September 22 brought us the release of Beck’s second book of 2009, the ironically titled Arguing with Idiots. In it, Beck is engaged in an ongoing […]

As we discussed yesterday Glenn Beck has been getting a lot of media attention lately. He’s got a new book coming out, with a book cover that is just unbelievable: Glenn Beck went on CBS News and was interviewed by Katie Couric (is Katie Couric the right wing’s favorite interviewer?) and she asked him to […]

Is there a backlash brewing against Glenn Beck by other conservatives? Steve Benen documents the details: On Tuesday, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough blasted Beck, and argued that the Fox News personality may be fomenting violence. “You cannot preach hatred,” Scarborough said. “You cannot say the president is racist. You cannot say things that have very deadly […]
